313 Forest Avenue - In 1906 Frank Lloyd Wright remodeled this home to something resembling its current state. Since then it has been remodeled, mostly destroyed by fire, restored, remodeled and restored. I don't think I've ever read about a house that's gone back and forth so much between owners wanting to change it and ones wanting to restore it to its 1906 incarnation.

849 South Broadway - One of my favorite buildings and one that I was very happy to see up close and personal and yet somehow I only took six pictures and one of them ended up blurry. The horror! This magnificent tuquoise terra cotta art deco gem was completed in 1930 and designed by Claud Beelman.
